Munich, Bavaria, Germany, March 15, 2026 – The infotage FACHDENTAL Munich 2026, a leading regional dental trade fair, concluded on March 14 with remarkable success, drawing 1,747 trade visitors to the MOC – Event Center Messe München. This represents a significant 21 percent increase in attendance compared to the 2024 edition, a testament to the effectiveness of new strategic partnerships.
New Alliances Elevate Trade Fair Experience
The substantial growth is largely due to close collaborations with two new influential partners: the Freier Verband Deutscher Zahnärzte e. V. (FVDZ) and the Bayerische Landeszahnärztekammer (BLZK). Together with 73 exhibiting companies, these partnerships fostered an environment rich in product innovation, practical continuing education, and professional exchange, all consolidated in one location.
Attendees demonstrated a strong intent to engage with dental products and services, with 82 percent actively involved in purchasing and procurement decisions. Over 40 percent of the trade visitors came with the specific intention of making investments during the infotage FACHDENTAL.
Claudia Döttinger, a member of the management board of Messe Stuttgart, expressed her satisfaction with the outcome: “This year’s edition in Munich marked a genuine advancement for infotage FACHDENTAL. With the FVDZ and the BLZK, we have gained two partners who have elevated the continuing education program content to a new level. Visitors felt this, and that is precisely the added value we aim to create.”
Jochen G. Linneweh, President of the Bundesverband Dentalhandel e. V., added: “What we experienced in Munich is proof of how effective a regional dental trade fair can be – when all stakeholders consistently collaborate. Exhibitors need platforms that offer added value beyond products, through continuing education and other opportunities. The infotage FACHDENTAL Munich delivered exactly that.”
Continuing Education Takes Center Stage
The continuing education program was a central highlight of this year’s event. For the first time, two strong partners independently designed dedicated program areas within the exhibition hall.
